From 1a36ce9b0903e02a5068aed5f807ed9d21f48ece Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: reuben honigwachs Date: Mon, 11 Nov 2019 22:38:10 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] commands: Add hint when dir not empty Many users seem to stumble over creating new sites in existing non-empty directories. And that `--force` is the necessary option. So I added *See --force* as a hint to the error. Fixes #4825. --- commands/new_site.go | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/commands/new_site.go b/commands/new_site.go index 6d1677e22..f884a6433 100644 --- a/commands/new_site.go +++ b/commands/new_site.go @@ -81,7 +81,7 @@ func (n *newSiteCmd) doNewSite(fs *hugofs.Fs, basepath string, force bool) error switch { case !isEmpty && !force: - return errors.New(basepath + " already exists and is not empty") + return errors.New(basepath + " already exists and is not empty.
